FILLING THE FRY POT
Only use shortening that is liquid at room temperature in this appliance.
3.4.
FILLING THE TANK WITH LIQUID SHORTENING
To fill the tank with liquid shortening, refer to the following procedure.
FRY POT OIL CAPACITY:
SSHLV14 = 30 lbs (13.6 kg)
SSHLV14T = 17 lbs (6.8 kg)
It is recommended that high quality liquid frying oils be used for longest oil life.
1. Verify that the tank interior is clean and free of any construction debris.
2. Rinse the tank and drain line with a small amount of clean cooking oil.
3. Ensure that the drain valve is closed.
4. Fill the tank to the “MIN” level mark. The oil will expand when heated up, raising the level to
OIL LEVEL line.
5. After the cooking oil is at operating temperature, add oil to the frypots as needed to obtain the
desired operating level.
WARNING
Replace shortening that is smoking, or foams when cooking. Old shortenings have reduced
flash point, and are prone to surge boiling. Using old shortening may create dangerous
conditions
WARNING
Do not overload the fry baskets, or allow the oil level to exceed the MAX line while cooking. Wet
product, or too much oil in the frypot can lead to surge boiling, and over topping the frypot.
Overtopping may create hazards such as burns or slippery floors.
